Ingersoll on Clovor.
In declining an Invitation to n Clover
club dinner once Colonel Robert lngcr-
soil wrote:
“A wonderful thing ] 8 ‘clover.’ It
means houe.v and cream—that Is to say,
Industry and contentment—that Is to
R «y. the happy bees in perfumed fields
and at the cottage gate ‘Old Boss,’ the
bountiful, serenely chewing satisfac
tion’s cud In that blessed twilight
pause that, like a benediction, falls be
tween nil toll and sleep. This clover
makes yie dream of happy hours, of
childhood’s rosy cheeks, of dimpled
Imbes, of wholesome, loving wives, of
honest men, of springs and brooks and
violets and all there Is of stainless Joy
In peaceful human life.
“A wonderful word Is clover! Drop
the ‘e,’ and yon have the happiest of
mankind. Take away the ‘c’ nud ‘r,’
and you have left the only thing that
makes a heaven of this dull and bar
ren earth. Cut otT the V alone, and
there remains a very deceitful bud that
sweetens the breath and keeps pence In
countless homes whose masters fre
quent clubs. After all. Bottom was
right, 'Good liny, sweet hay, hath no
fellow.’ ’’
A Curious Plant.
“A curious plant,” said an eminent
botanist, “is the wild tamarind or Juba
plant of the riverside and waste places
of tropical America, and very strange
are Us effects upon the uonruminant
animals that feed upon its young
shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. It
causes horses to lose the hair from
their manes and tails, has a similar ef
fect upon mules and donkeys and re
duces pigs to complete nakedness.
Horses are said to recover when fed
exclusively on corn nud grass, but the
new hair Is of different color and tex
ture from the old, so Hint the animal is
never quite the same ns it was. One
animal of which I personally knew
after feeding on the plant lost its hoofs
and had to be kept in slings until
they grew and hardened again. Rumi
nant animals are not thus affected, and
the growth of the plant Is actually en
couraged in the Bahamas as a fodder
plant for cattle, sheep and goats. The
difference Is probably due to cliauges
effected upon It In the cliewlug of the
cud.”
A Trying Position.
An East Indian paper prints the fol
lowing, written by a native subordi
nate in his diary while in a very try
ing position:
"Up n tree where I adhere with much
pain and discomposure while big tiger
roaring in a very awful manner on the
lire line. This is very Inconsiderate
tiger and causes me great griefs, as I
have before reported to your honor.
This is two times lie spoiled my work,
coming and shouting like thunder and
putting me up a tree and making mo
behave like an Insect. It is a very awk
ward fate to me, and the tiger is most
inconsiderate.”

The Widow's Dower.
It is certain that “dower,” tht estate
for life which the widow acquires at
her husband’s death, was not known
among the early Saxons. In the laws
of King Edmund the widow Is directed
to be supported wholly out of the per
sonal estate. Dower Is generally as
cribed to the Normans, but it was first
introduced into the feudal system by
lOmperor Frederick II., who was con
temporary with the English Henry III.,
about 1250.
The Word “News.”
Cm the derivation of the word
“news,” which lias been a puzzle to
many learned philologists, there is the
following:
The word explains Itself without a muse,
And the four letters speak from wlienco
comes "news;”
From north, east, west and south the
solution's made.
Each quarter gives account of war and
trade.

Id Hemoriam. First Bale New Cot-
ton For Sandersville.
Mr. W. G. Mills was born in Craw-
ford county, June 8, 1853, near Knox
ville, lived there 13 years, then moved
to Texas and moved back to Georgia
when 23 years old. He wbr married to
Miss Dora Sheppard Dec 25, 1S82, thus
making their married life about 25
years, Twelve children were born to
them; ten are now living. When 1
catne to this community about 5 years
"K» I boarded with this family and
learned to esteem each member and to
rely on them ns my friends. As my
mind turns bnck to that time, a picture
of this father and husband conies to
me, so pntient so kind, so forbearing,
going on in his quiet way, never fret-
ing or compinning. It has often been
said of him that lie was among the
most forgiving of men, holding neither
malice or hatred.
For the past four years he had been
mail carrier on the route from Deep-
step to Sundersville and wns both re
liant and punctual. It might be said
that he was a man of misfortunes
While very young, hits eyesight gave
way and he was disabled for sometime
to do any work. When he and his wife
first started out in life, nearly all their
possessions were swept away by fire,
deatli entered the home, and took
away a favorite child. Within seven
years, two of his sons were strickcned
down with appendicitis,death claiming
one of them ; hi* wife was bed ridden
for one year with rheumatism, yet he
seemed to think and feel that his mis
fortunes were just, lie was always
hopeful and looked on the bright side
of life.
Just ns lie wns taking a new lease on
lile as it were, he was stricken with
a disease that the doctors pronounced
tuberculosis of tile knee. What pain
lie suffered, none but himself knew,
tor the last five months of his life he
was confined to his lied nearly all the
time. He was carried to Dr. Rawlings
Sanitarium; the first time his knee
wns operated on, the next time they
took off his leg above Ins knee, yet
he did not mariner, hut said “Tis
God’s will let it be so.”
He realized that his time on earth
was short and wanted his wife to be
near him always, lie read his Bible
just as long ns he was able, he said all
along that he wns trying to meet his
God. A few hours before lie died he
said to his wife I know ‘‘I must leave
you all soon,” she asked was there any
thing he wanted he said “no” I am
satisfied, I have made my peace with
God and am ready to go.” A short
time before he passed away, he repent
ed part of an old Hymn, the ending
lines:
‘I Will lay
breast.
And breathe
there.”
‘‘Through all pains at times he’d
smile,
A smile of Heavenly birth ;
And when the angels called him
home,
lie smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams love to linger,
Where our sainted one sleeps.”
We miss thee from our home dear
one,
We miss then from thy place,
A shadow o’er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
Wo miss thy kind and willing hand.
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.”
